Subject: The New Tuner


> Hi Everyone.
>
> As you know, the ACB Radio Tuner application has been around for a few
> months now, allowing you to access the ACB Radio channels, right from your
> desktop.  Up until now, the Tuner has used your screen reader to provide
> extra feedback.  But, now, I am working on a version of the tuner which
will
> talk itself, and therefore give those without a screen reader, the chance
to
> enjoy ACB Radio, like the rest of us.
>
> This presents several challenges to me as a developer, and there is
> therefore, much more potential for things to go wrong.  For this reason,
we
> have now set up a special list, to accommodate the Tuner development.
>
> Anyone wishing to test the new talking tuner, should be prepared for
> handling difficult situations the software might land them in, and be able
> to provide as much detail as possible if, as and when it does, to enable
me
> to fix any problems that may arise.  For this reason, you should only
> consider volunteering to test the Tuner, if you are an experienced
computer

> As a tester you will have a say in the development in the next Tuner, and
be
